For Sale Backordered since 11/16/2009

The four-disc box set Barry Williams Presents: 70s Music Explosion collects a solid cross-section of classic "Me Generation" cuts. Conceptualized around Brady Bunch alum and TV icon Barry Williams (aka Greg Brady), this kitschy and colorful set comes packaged retro-style in an old-school 7" record box. Also included is a thin booklet featuring a reminiscence by Williams as well as liner notes by music writer John Morthland. Showcased here are such well-known tracks as Bay City Rollers' "Saturday Night," Terry Jacks' "Seasons in the Sun," and 10cc's "'I'm Not in Love," as well as some lesser-known cuts including Maureen McGovern's "'The Morning After" and Jim Stafford's "Spiders and Snakes." While this is a fun set with a generous and varied track listing, the somewhat over-the-top packaging promises a bit more than it actually delivers. ~ Matt Collar

5 stars memorable & quintessential voyage to a kinder, gentler time
This album takes me back to a time where men were gentlemen, women were ladies, and songs were captivating expressions of one's innerself--not sex, violence & vulgarity like so much of today's (so-called) music. This imperialistic devotion to a more gentile characteristic can be felt and relived in this magnificent "oldies" collection. Let's here it for OLD-SCHOOL..as, so much of today's variety of music seems more like "Grade School". (pun intended).
